Product details
Overview
MAX17693AATC+T from Maxim Integrated is a 4.2V–60V no-opto isolated flyback converter IC with integrated 76V/245mΩ nMOSFET, fixed-frequency peak-current-mode control, and primary-side output voltage regulation. It delivers up to 1.4W output power, supports programmable 100kHz–350kHz switching, and eliminates optocoupler and secondary-side error amplifier in industrial isolated supplies.
For engineers reviewing the MAX17693AATC+T datasheet, MAX17693AATC+T pinout, MAX17693AATC+T application, or MAX17693AATC+T equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, temperature-compensated no-opto operation details, and two confirmed alternative parts for PLC I/O, gate drive, and telecom power designs.
Technical Context
The MAX17693AATC+T implements primary-side sensing by sampling the reflected flyback waveform at the LX node during secondary diode conduction, using an internal differential amplifier to generate IRFB proportional to secondary winding voltage. Its algorithm samples the SET pin voltage near zero secondary current to minimize transformer parasitic and diode forward-voltage effects on regulation.
It features internal loop compensation (no external COMP network required), EN/UVLO with 1.215V turn-on threshold, OVI protection (MAX17693A only), soft-start via SS pin, and SYNC/DITHER pin supporting either external clock synchronization (1.10×–1.32× fSWRT) or ±4%–±12% spread-spectrum dithering via RC network.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.2V to 60V - supports wide-input industrial and telecom rails without pre-regulation. |
| Integrated nMOSFET | 76V VDS, 245mΩ RDS(ON) - enables compact 1.4W isolated flyback without external high-voltage switch. |
| Switching Frequency | 100kHz to 350kHz, programmable via RT resistor - balances EMI, transformer size, and efficiency across applications. |
| Output Regulation Accuracy | ±1.2% over -40°C to +125°C - achieved via primary-side sensing with temperature-compensated SET feedback path. |
| Shutdown Current | 2.5µA - enables ultra-low-power disable mode for energy-sensitive systems. |
| OVI Protection | 1.215V rising threshold (MAX17693A only) - allows precise input overvoltage shutdown without external comparator. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 160°C with 10°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking in enclosed environments. |
Pinout & Package
MAX17693AATC+T is housed in a 12-pin, 3mm × 3mm TDFN-EP package (package code TD1233+1C) with exposed pad for thermal dissipation. Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 41°C/W on multilayer board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Primary input supply rail | 4.2V–60V input reference; connects to primary winding and FB resistor divider; requires ≥1µF ceramic bypass. |
| GND | Primary-side ground reference | Return for all internal circuits; must connect to primary PCB ground plane with low-inductance path. |
| VCC | LDO output for internal bias | 5.77V regulated output; requires 2.2µF ceramic capacitor to GND; can be overdriven by auxiliary winding above 5.9V. |
| SYNC/DITHER | Frequency control interface | Configurable for external clock sync (1.10×–1.32× fSWRT) or ±4%–±12% spread-spectrum dithering via RC network. |
| RT | Switching frequency programming | Resistor to GND sets fSW from 100kHz–350kHz; open-circuit defaults to 200kHz. |
| TC/VCM | Temperature compensation & common-mode setting | Programs diode forward-voltage tempco (-1 to -2mV/°C) and selects internal common-mode range via RTC/VCM resistor. |
| SS | Soft-start timing control | Capacitor to GND extends soft-start beyond default 5ms; controls inrush current into output capacitor. |
| SET | Feedback reference node | Regulated at 1.0V (±1.2%); carries current proportional to reflected output voltage; used with RSET for output scaling. |
| OVI | Input overvoltage monitor | MAX17693A-only pin; 1.215V threshold triggers hiccup shutdown; requires resistor divider from VIN. |
| EN/UVLO | Enable and undervoltage lockout | 1.215V turn-on / 1.1V turn-off thresholds; enables precise input voltage sequencing and brownout protection. |
| FB | Primary-side feedback sense | Connected to LX via resistor; senses reflected flyback voltage during secondary conduction; no optocoupler needed. |
| LX | Switching node | Drain of integrated nMOSFET; connects directly to primary winding; requires low-inductance layout to minimize ringing. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output power achievable with MAX17693AATC+T?
The MAX17693AATC+T delivers up to 1.4W of isolated output power under typical conditions (e.g., 24V input, 5V/250mA output). Actual power depends on transformer design, layout, ambient temperature, and cooling. Derating is required above +70°C ambient due to thermal limits; the device's 160°C junction shutdown and 41°C/W θJA (multilayer board) define practical continuous power boundaries.
Does MAX17693AATC+T require an external optocoupler for feedback?
No, the MAX17693AATC+T does not require an external optocoupler. It uses primary-side sensing to sample the reflected flyback voltage at the LX pin during secondary diode conduction, then regulates output voltage via the SET and FB pins. This eliminates the optocoupler, secondary-side error amplifier, and associated bias winding - reducing component count and PCB area by up to 20%.
How is input overvoltage protection implemented on MAX17693AATC+T?
Input overvoltage protection (OVI) is implemented on the MAX17693AATC+T via the dedicated OVI pin. A resistor divider from VIN to GND sets the trip threshold; when the OVI pin voltage exceeds 1.215V (typ), the device stops switching and enters hiccup mode. It resumes normal operation only after the OVI pin voltage falls below 1.1V (typ). This feature is exclusive to the MAX17693A variant.
Can MAX17693AATC+T synchronize its switching frequency to an external clock?
Yes, the MAX17693AATC+T supports external clock synchronization via the SYNC/DITHER pin. An external clock signal (1.10×–1.32× the nominal fSWRT) applied to this pin synchronizes the internal oscillator to avoid low-frequency beat interference in multi-converter systems. The device detects the 9th consecutive rising edge and locks to the external clock on the 10th or 11th pulse, ensuring deterministic phase alignment.
What is the purpose of the TC/VCM pin on MAX17693AATC+T?
The TC/VCM pin on MAX17693AATC+T serves dual functions: it selects the internal common-mode voltage range (KVCM ≥ 2.5 or < 2.5) and programs temperature compensation for the output rectifier diode's forward voltage drop. A resistor (RTC/VCM) sets a PTAT current injected into the SET node, offsetting diode Vf drift with temperature - maintaining output regulation accuracy across -40°C to +125°C ambient.
